Mike

Mike first started painting as a summer job in high school, he has painted through out his life. He grew up in Vancouver snowboarded in Whistler on the weekends moved to Whistler toward the end of university. He always wanted to be part of the local economics of Whistler, where stuff grew out of Whistler not from outside and into Whistler.

Mike enjoys the calm straight forward meditative aspect of painting. There is not a lot to painting although there are numerous techniques and tricks. Its important to have the right tools. After that Mike sees painting very much as an endurance race where its just about staying consistent following through on the plan. Painting is physically demanding and Mike likes the physical labor.
